Parking was easy.The 4 bedrooms worked for us, just would have liked more hooks since there were no closets. The only shower worked but seemed to have low water pressure (a wand showerhead would be ideal) and only one temp (warm but not hot).We didn't even have time to use the pool or ping pong tables.Would definitely stay there, great value!

It was a fantastic place to stay and have family time. Pool table was a HUGE hit, as well as the ping pong table, projection TV and outdoor space for our 4 legged family members to take a break. Kitchen is big, and we also enjoyed the various tables and nooks for small conversations. And, to say we stayed in a “church” for the weekend was a big hit as well.

Everything was clean, the place was spacious, the neighborhood was really quiet and the wineries were fun! Definitely recommend this place. We met the owner and she was very friendly. I don't think I'd rent this place for a party, neighborhood is too quiet. Thank you! ##### Sherry Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2022 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Beth L.

House was clean and spacious with so much character. Sleeps 7 comfortably. Host was very gracious and responsive. Our teens had a blast with the ping pong and pool table. Had a hard time regulating the electric baseboard heaters upstairs, but that is likely user error. It was definitely warm! The only thing I’d recommend is updating the listing to let everyone know how close the rental next door is. No issues with the neighbors at all, they were great- but we didn’t realize how close they would be. More worried about how loud we were cheering during the bowl games ;) ##### Beth L.

Close to the beaches and restaurants in St. Joe and plenty of space to sprawl out in the house. ##### Eric S. Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2021 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Emily G.

Everything was as advertised. We really enjoyed the stay. The decor was really cute. The floor was dirty when we got there, it was swept but not washed. Our feet were black before bed. Otherwise everything else was clean and organized. The owner was responsive to questions as well. ##### Allison O. Stayed 5 nights in Jul 2021 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Amber S.
